Yes.  Thanks to you and to GSR: I think curve bend is the right tool for
that.  One question, though: why does it stretch the picture vertically?
I can see it affects your picture, and mine as well.

To be more specific: I expected that...
 * on a rectangular selection of height H
 * sing a curve bend with parallel (identical) upper and lower curves
 * the resulting curved shape "should" have the same height H for all
   vertical section

Instead, this height is significantly greater than the original, meaning
the selection has been stretched vertically.

To me, nothing in the dialog box or the name of the tool suggest this
behaviour. Neither could I control this distortion, which I had to
compensate manually by trial and error (this is gimp 1.2.3).

Cheers,

[Gimp-user] Need/Emulate a "curved" perspective transform tool

2004-04-04 Thread Daniel Déchelotte
[Repost, I am now subscribed to the list]

Hi,

I would like to create an "electrical switch" out of a given
rectangle[1]. The perspective transform tool only allows a rectangle to
be transformed into a quadrilateral, so I can get the following
"approximations" ([2], [3] and [4]), but it would be nice in that case
to be able to have the round shape that I have in mind (and that I hope
you guessed :o). Any tricks to do that?

Thanks for your ideas.

A note on the following images:
 * they are all < 2 kB large
 * the white rectangle was transformed with the perspective tool,
   the black line symbolizes some random content and was manually
   added afterwards (just in case you wondered)
 * I hope you get the idea! ;-)
